truman Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 High pressure areas are usually caused by cooler air so the density will be greater in high pressure areas than the warmer low pressure areas. . Would you read post #26 and see if you and Defunct can reach a consensus...he says warm areas have high presuure.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppins Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Most good basketball players are black, seems one reason is that they have such large families and live in crowded tenements , no room for sports, just a basketball net, same with some great baseball players that come from the islands, nothing else to do all day but try to bat themselves off the island.

barleycorn Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Hotter climates have a generally higher barometric pressure which leads to less oxygen in the air. The cardiovascular system thus works harder to get enough oxygen for the bodies needs. Learn from the learned! No. It does change the ratio of gases that make up the air, but the oxygen decreases. Have you never had a really hot day and heard someone say "There is no air in here" .They have actually detected that less oxygen in the atmosphere. There is a good article called "The human barometer" that explains it. Nope. The relative concentration of oxygen in the air is the same at sea level as it is at the top of Mount Everest. The absolute concentration, or amount of O2 per unit volume is what changes and is dependent upon pressure, temperature and humidity. jb ETA: The effect you're describing is more to do with the humidity and temperature as both can lead to a decrease in absolute O2 concentration (PV=nRT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSmith Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Would you read post #26 and see if you and Defunct can reach a consensus...he says warm areas have high presuure.. Maybe better if you look it up yourself. Low and High Pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know nothing whatsoever about science , so you "google" for knowledge as a comeback. You then totally misinterpret what you read and regurgitate the misunderstood bile all over a forum thread. It is a forums equivalent of "Binge drinking" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecky Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 What do you all think? I think it's a load of bull. Isn't it a bit like saying all black people are descended from slaves? There will be plenty of black people who are good athletes and they have absolutely no slave ancestory what-so-ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
